Howard!

Huge get.  Lots of healthy competition at the 1 and 2 next year.

I can't believe Marcus92 didn't change his name to Markus92!

Welcome to Warrior Nation Markus!

[Blackhat]

Alright, alright, alright!

[brandx]

Agreed and all 5 can play PG.

They can in a pinch, but would rather see Wilson and HC as a '2'. Neither is a point in my opinion. Don't have the total court awareness necessary for a PG.

Thank you, take out Bailey, and MU is not in the Top 50.

Unless you live in reality.

[GooooMarquette]

Outstanding news!

Welcome to Marquette, Markus!

[mugrack]

Where is Ron Paul?

[GGGG]

Unless you live in reality.

Lol.

After watching him this week, it wouldn't shock me if he played off the ball like Duane did. I think adding him and Rowsey puts Cheatham in his natural position on the wing, which will be very fun to watch.

[jaygall31]

Even HE welcomed Markus to MU!!!

[rocket surgeon]

money!  that was one of the most unique, well thought out decisions i've seen AND ya gotta love the ending

welcome markus

[mufvr]

Congrats to Wojo and the entire staff.  Great recruit and can't help but be impressed with the content of the video.  Welcome aboad Markus.  Better times are ahead with the experience gained by the current team and the news ones coming in.

This is such an impressive get by Stan! Way to see it through--welcome MH!

[lurch91]

Very well done.  Sounds like this young man is going to be a tremendous addition on the court and in the classroom.

[Tums Festival]

Thank you, take out Bailey, and MU is not in the Top 50.  I really do not care about the rankings as next year they sign a one and done big and that is all MU gets, that
would be an awesome recruiting year.

Without Bailey 24/7 composite would have us ranked 35th just ahead of ND.

[MU82]

I didn't change my handle to Ellenson82 or HE82.

Nor did I change it to Markus82 or MH82.

I accept full credit.

You're welcome!

Always my favorite Scoop post.

Yup.  I'm a pastor's kid.  But, my parents and I picked Marquette because we knew that a faith-based institution was a good choice for me, coming from a faith based family, even if that faith was slightly different from what I grew up in.

I think the same is true for our recruits who come from faith-based families.  Emphasizing the faith angle is a big selling point.  It worked for Buzz (some sort of evangelical I think) and it should work for Wojo (a Catholic, if I'm not mistaken). 

If the faith angle only worked for Catholics, would we have Bailey, a Mormon, on board?

Thanks, OD, for your ecumenical perspective.  We all are so blessed in so many ways, no?

I would imagine Rowsey is going to see more than 16 mpg.

I would assume Howard is more talented than Rowsey, but Rowsey has two years of division one experience and one redshirt season compared to Markus having three years of high school experience. Rowsey has already adapted to shooting three point shots against college competition. I still remember Anthony Pieper getting his first two outside shots blocked. There is a big difference in the time you need to shoot in high school vs. the time you need in college. I have no doubt Markus will become a very good player, but I think he will have a big adjustment period like most freshmen do. The other question I have is whether Wojo will change his offense to run screens for the shooters he is recruiting? Especially since Howard and Rowsey are under 6'.

This is not correct. MU was ranked 31st with only Bailey & Hauser. Drop Bailey and add Howard who is rated higher than Bailey and we probably be ranked higher than 31st.

Welcome to the family Markus. You are a very welcome addition.

Does it really matter, no, 31st, 35th or 50th, it is meaningless info.   Hauser might be a key component next year if they sign nobody else.  Howard, needs to get stronger
and re-shape his body a little bit.  I have watched him twice, I think Rowsey and him are the same player, the difference is Rowsey will be a senior in age and Howard
is a puppy.  Howard will get his share of time, not sure he is a point guard, but I expect will play that position.
